Pain is a temporary visitor, an inevitable short sojourner in a world which is capable of choice. So it must be in the human world if men and women are to be free to be and do , to grow and to mature.

But there is a manifestation of suffering which has little to do with reaction from choice or the ancestral inevitability of genes. That is vicarious suffering for others that they may become whole through that offering. I piloted the way through My pre-incarnate life and through My human life, sealing on the cross then and for all time the perfect offering : the offering for sin and amelioration through suffering.. All who unite with Me in either respect- or both - find salvation , hope and wholeness.

And this highway for the full, whole life is the only way for My disciples to follow. All who are true of heart adhere and become, in some measure, what I have prefigured complete in My Father's presence continually.

So take heart, encourage those who find the going difficult, and relate in all things to My strength My saving purpose, My love.
